Good pics and clips folks.. after my relatively brief and enlightening spell in Air Defense, I shall leave those big boy guns to ye!!.. respect to those whom dig the arty and tanking but not my cup of tea....

Tenants of Bushido;

‘We should never obsess about if we are going to die, but instead focus on how we live as those whom live an honorable life will always die a glorious death.’

Those things with the rods are called aft caps. They're the base of the tank rounds and it's what gets ejected inside the turret when you fire a round.

TANKER - That dusty, crusty, grease-covered, dirty, sweaty, bright-eyed, fuzzie-faced,
haircut-needing, beer-drinking, underrated, over-worked, underpaid,
oversexed, little shit, who can take a tank and do more battlefield damage in
ten minutes than a Grunt squad can do all day.

I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war. I want a good steed under me like my forefathers before.
